We have a current trend towards splitting big

What do we split on next, "Dead Dutch authors"? Good category
intersections would really help that one...
I just wanted to point out semantic mediawiki extension, as it solves
these problems fairly well. It may be a little difficult for many
users, but I don't think it's that bad.

Yeah, I know about it. The widespread assumption is that Semantic
MediaWiki will never happen at Wikipedia. Which is a pity, and
possibly a self-fulfilling prophesy.
Is there some small part of the semantic stuff that we could adopt,
without taking the whole thing?
